diethack: diet problem solver with dietary reference intakes in mind

I was curious how a diet conforming to NSDA Dietary Reference Intakes may look like. I mean not only your usual protein, fat and carbs, but also a zillion other microelements and vitamins.

I ended up writing a Python library. Through its API you define the goal as acceptable ranges for each element, specify which products to compose the diet of, run the solver to find the cheapest solution, and save the report.

There is an example diet computed this way on the project home page.
